Brett, as long as you're okay with very 80s zombie-type flicks you'll be okay. I'm glad I taped it off HBO years ago. Too bad I was stupid and did it in EP. So a DVD is much wanted!! Seems like it should already be out though.

Funny, considering Eberhardt recently announced (like only three or four months back) that a sequel's in development. Time will tell, I suppose.

Ah, lots of Catherine Mary Stewart fun, also starring Robert "Free At Last" Beltran as Big Hector. First caught this one on Showtime (or was it The Movie Channel?) during the summer of 1985, and it's been one of my perennial ne plus ultra '80s zombie films of all time.

Even Harlan Ellison wrote a rave review of this flick for the L.A. Times, as I recall.

"Pablo, please take Chet's corpse into the other room, and then fix Mr. Hallenbeck a drink."

Or Miracle Mile -- there's a scene where people are waiting for a helicopter to take them out of L.A. before the bombs start falling, and there are two teen/twenty-something girls who show up with machine guns and debating whether they should bring condoms with them ("We have to repopulate the human race."/"You can repopulate the human race.") I swear they're alternate universe version of the Night of the Comet girls.

This is one of my favorite films and I was lucky enough to score my own copy off of cable, which is where I discovered it. This film will be a classic to me forever, if only just for the post-apocalyptic mall raid to the tune of Girls Just Want to Have Fun. This movie isn't just 80's, it's EXTRAORDINARLY 80's! The entire cast is made up of genre greats, including the likes of Mary Woronov and Geoffrey Lewis.

Hopefully this is a sign that MGM is starting to get their horror/sci-fi classic (Midnight Movies?) output going again, because they're still sitting on a crapload of films. Of those remaining on my radar: Larry Cohen's Full Moon High, Stuart Gordon's From Beyond (now uncut thanks to Monsters HD) and Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing. Now if only we can get the other studios to cooperate and give us The Monster Squad and Night of the Creeps too.
